The Ability programme provides funding to 27 local, regional and national projects throughout the country. It focuses on bringing young people with disabilities up to the age of 29 closer to the labour market. The Ability programme is co-financed by the European Social Fund and the Department of Social Protection and is administered by Pobal. The programme is due to conclude in 2021. It is of vital importance to many young people with disabilities in west Cork and throughout the country. What steps is the Government taking to ensure that it continues after 2021?
